JF Katsuura Seafood Market — Attraction in Nachikatsuura

Outstanding! Auction starts 7am. Get there before 7am to catch big tuna being unloaded from boat to the auction floor. You can also get upclose & personal before the auction while being careful not to obstruct their work.

Upstair observation floor is equipped with plenty of images, diagrams & English explanation about the how, what & where.

Given how many fish there are, the place is surprisingly not smelly. People are quite relaxed & tolerant of visitors.

Absolute highlight of NachiKatsuura or even...

Este mercado está muy cerca de la estación de tren y buses, a unos dos minutos andando. La subasta comenzó a las 7:30. Así que conviene estar unos minutos antes. Puedes ver como venden los grandes atunes recién pescados y algunos peces más distribuidos en el piso. Aconsejo ir a la terraza del visitante en la segunda planta, la entrada es grautita, un buen teleobjetivo te ayudará a capturar todo. Si estás dispuesto a madrugar, la visita merece la pena. Gran contrastes si has visto el mercado de pescado de Tokyo. Por otra parte, se describe este mercado como donde se encuentró el atún más grande del país. This market is very close to the train and bus station, about two minutes walk. The auction started at 7:30. So it should be a few minutes before. You can see how they sell the large freshly caught tunas and some more distributed fish on the floor. I advise to go to the visitor's terrace on the second floor, the entrance is free, a good telephoto lens will help you capture everything. If you are willing to get up early, the visit is worth it. Great contrasts if you've seen the Tokyo fish market. On the other hand, this market is described as where the largest tuna in the country was found. この市場は、電車やバスの駅に非常に近く、徒歩約2分です。 オークションは7時30分に開始されました。...
